[QUOTE="melon, post: 171393"] I'm devestated. This guy is a god both as an opening batsmen in the one-day arena and an all time great #7 in tests, not to mention the best wicket keeper of the past decade and one of the best of all time. About 3 days ago in The Daily Telegraph (and of course subsequently reported all over the news), it was reported that Gilly wanted to play on for another Ashes series! What a shock for him to go now :( One of my favourite players. It will be sad to see him hang up the bat. On the plus side, Brad Haddin has been waiting in the wings and has sufficient international experience for him to step in to the role as wickie and is 4 or 5 years younger than Gilly, so atleast us Aussies have the comfort in knowing we have a bloody good wicket keeper till atleast 2012. Congratulations of an absolutely stellar career Churchie.
